I noticed your runway......over here where I fly, a flat runway is a "luxury".......what was it made of? linoleum?

:)

@punzalane

In fact, our "runway" is made of a kind of fabric used to make paper in paper factories. Once it''s been used for a while, they throw it away and we took it over... ;-)

@Alex911747 Interesting... :) Thanks! 

[punzalane]

@Alex911747 Thanks ...yes, I know what you mean.....G4500 will be a bit over ...... and it will require opening up part of the cowling :(

[punzalane]

@Alex911747

The G4500 will require that I cut open part of the cowling :( Hmmm........ Thanks :)

@punzalane

A heavier engine won't hurt for sure, as I had to add more than 1kg of lead in the nose... ;-)

I don't like over-powered models, so the OS 160 suits me well, even if it could have a little more punch in my opinion, and still stay realistic.

The Super Tigre 4500 is probably a bit overkill, but it will do the job if you can make it fit into the cowling.

@Alex911747

Thanks :) I have a super tigre G4500 lying around ...... would that be a good " bigger and heavier engine" in your opinion? :) I'll start assembling my Zero pretty soon .....

@punzalane

Thanks! :-)

The engine is an OS 160FX, 26cc / 2 stroke.

@Alex911747

Beautiful plane....nice flying too :) What engine did you have in it?

[Alex911747]

@rickashaybingbing

It is very easy to build and flies great. The only "cheap" part is the landing gear, read my answer above.

With my engine, it flies realistically, but I had to add about 1kg of lead to get a proper CG. You might want to consider a bigger and heavier engine, as some other guys did.
